About the booths

Global Village delegations can choose between two package options based on the size of the booth and the number of tickets included. In both cases delegations benefit from full access to the Swiss Biotech Day conference and partnering platform, along with exclusive access to the Global Village program.

Booth furniture is always included; the booths only differ in size and each delegation can customize their back-wall print to showcase their home ecosystem.

To achieve impactful collaboration and fully leverage all available opportunities, we require your active preparation and engagement. Utilizing existing tools, such as the Swiss Biotech Directory or the Swiss Biotech Ventures platform to search and identify companies of interest and/or potential partners, and adhering to the timelines will streamline the preparation process and enhance your overall experience.
